f all whomit may concern.-

Be it known that I, SAMUEL KANnn, a citizen of the Republic of Russia, cap maker, residing at 52 Henry Street, in the city of Toronto, in the Province of Ontario, Dominion of Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Caps, of

which the following is a specification.

The invention relates to improvement in caps as described in the present specification and shown in the accompanying drawing that forms part of the same.

The invention consists essentially of the novel features of construction whereby a cap is provided with means disposed at each side of the vizor in such a manner as to render the cap adjustable to heads of varying sizes.

The objects of my invention are to provide an adjustable cap comparatively economical to manufacture and constructed so as to eliminate the unsightly appearance of adjusting means by the disposing of attachments interiorly instead of exteriorly.

In the drawing, Figure 1 is a side view of the cap.

Figure 2 is a plan view of the inverted cap, the rear portion thereof being broken away.

Figures 3 and a are modified forms of the invention.

Like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in each figure.

Referring to the drawing, 1 designates the cover which may be constructed in any desirable mode, having an orifice portion 2; said orifice portion being in the form of a band if so desired.

Aifixed in the customary manner to the cover 1 is the conventional vizor 3.

@n each side of the cap slightly to the rear of the vizor extremities the cover orifice is split transversely as at l for the purpose of permitting expansion or contraction thereof.

5 are tongues extending forwardly from each side of the rear portion of the orifice over the front portion to permit the fastening of the orifice portion together.

6 are slots in the orifice on each side of the cover slightly in advance of the splits 4, leading into the interior of the wall of the cover and receptive to the tongues 5; such slots being constructed so as to communicate with the wall interior.

7 are sections of dome fasteners, one of such dome fasteners being positioned inter- Serial n0 627,394:

mediate the split and slot 'on'eaclrsi'de of the orifice.

Longitudinally arranged on each tongue 5 is a plurality of opposing sections of dome fasteners 8 adapted for selective engage ment with their respective sections 7.

It will be manifest in adjustment of this cap, to obtain the fit required, it is simply necessary to engage the corresponding sections of dome fasteners that will secure to the wearer the regulation required for the snug fitting of the cap. By further inserting the tongues through the slot provided for the purpose the cap will present a very neat and attractive external appearance.

It will be readily observed that fasteners other than dome fasteners may be employed if so desired, such as the conventional button, and it will furthermore be obvious that only one of, or one section of, such fastener is required on each side of the front portion of the orifice instead of a plurality which would prevent the tongues from being passed through into the interior of the cap as above described.

Figure-3 shows a modified form of the invention, in which the conventional button is used as a fastener as at 9, the slot for concealing the tongue being omitted. Figure 4 shows a similar view with the use of dome fasteners as at 10 and also omitting the slot for concealing the tongue.

What I claim is 1. In a cap of the class described, a conventional cover having the orifice portion thereof split transversely at opposing points to the rear of the vizor and tongues extending forwardly from the rear portion of such orifice, slots leading into the interior of the walls of said cover positioned slightly in advance of each of the opposing splits in said orifice portion receptive to said tongues, the material intermediate the split and slot on each side of the cover bearing a dome fastener section, opposing dome fastener sections arranged longitudinally on each of said tongues and adapted for selective engagement with said dome fastener sections, with tongues inser ed in said slots for concealing same from view.

2. In a cap, the combination with a cover having the orifice portion thereof split transversely to the rear of the extremities of the vizor and tongues extending forwardly from the rear portion of such orifice, of slots leading into the walls of the cover on both sides thereof positioned tions, and the remaining portions of such 1 slightly in advance of the splits and receptongues inserted in then respective slots for tive to the tongues from the rear orifice concealment.
